I haven't checked the latest alpha but Reaper has transposing function. It is just little bit hidden: you can select notes in midi editor and ctrl+F2 opens this little note properties window, there you can write in the first box for example +3 and it will transpose those notes 3 seminotes up.

There is also an included plugin for real-time nondestructive transposing.
JS: MIDI/midi_transpose

I'm not at the Reaper machine right now to check this, but if you select a take and hit either shift or control (can't remember which) and then hit 9 or zero, it will transpose the take up or down in 1/2 tone increments.

pitch action
Here is a destructive custome action i made for transposing midi items up and down by 1 semitone increment, so you'll have to run it as many times you need regarding your transpose values.

Hi you just put pitch action.ReaperKeyMap in your keymaps folder under reaper instalation directori after that you import the keymap in the Action list .After that just select the items you want to traspose and push Alt+num8 for up 1 semitone and alt+num2 for 1 semitone down.

This is a really useful thread.
Just a little example how it could work too - in Orion, for example, you just select all notes (ctrl a in Reaper), and without any other menu you can transpose them up and down with the - you guessed it - up and down keys. Or of course with the mouse, but I tend to place the notes on the wrong place that way, if I have long midi files.
Anyway, it is easily done in Reaper too (thanks mirceablue!), and as I continue using Orion and Reaper, it works perfect for me.

That's up/dn in Reaper too - if you assign these keys. There's a ton of actions to move notes around, no custom actions needed:

I had trouble finding that too, until I realized that they use the official musical term, straight from Beethoven's letters, "move notes up one semitone/octave" instead of that old, archaic "TRANSPOSE".
Can I get a +1 for re-wording it to "Transpose", which is what musicians would look for if they want to transpose?

Maybe I'm missing something here but current name is very detailed and self-explanatory, it takes about 5 seconds to think about it "hmmm there's no transpose actions here, what would it be? ahh semitones! Great... now this makes sense"

No, it's not self-explanatory. That's why there are people posting about it on the forum. Also, musicians tend to prefer using musical terms when dealing with musical ideas. Some examples:
-"turn them notes 'round back'ards and'en flipp'am" = Retrograde Inversion
-"turn that'dar knob on ya git-tar till the lil' thang on the screen lines up with'at other thang an then it blinks" = Use the built-in Guitar Tuner.
-"knock that'un up higher" = Transpose up

The word 'Transpose' has unfortunately been patented by Monster Cable®.

I have to admit that this was something that took me a little while to work out when I first started using REAPER... so another +1.

Whenever I haven't transposed in a while I always have to look it up again and I forget the terminology that Reaper uses. Big +1 for use of the word transpose. (A transpose function on Right-Click with selected MIDI notes wouldn't be too shabby, either)...

Yeah, that's definitely nice, even better to have the kind that sets it within a scale. There is a JS plugin or something that does it, but seriously, who the hell wants to exit the editor, add the plugin, splice the specific part you want to change, apply the fx, glue it all back...BS!!!! How about just a right-click menu with some helpful midi tools like scalar transposition, velocity compression/expansion, etc...and the word Transpose!!! ))

How about using something like "Move/Transpose notes..." then? "Transpose" is a standard term, and this caught me up today.

select (all) items, apply the "Pitch item up (down) one semitone" as many times as you want to transpose it. by semitones.
i forgot the original key for it, i have these on "ő" and "ú".
could this be any easier?

Click the MIDI item, press F2 (properties) and use "Pitch ajust (semitone)"

Unless there is some secret handshake thing, it belongs under the Edit menu, labeled Transpose.

Probably also want to avoid using other standard digital musical terms like Quantize.
Change it to "Adjust the "Note On and Note Off Values".

...similarly, the confusingly-named "Record" button could be called, "Write incoming audio to file on armed tracks"
Much clearer and consistent, surely?

I'd prefer "Speak!" "Sit!" and "Fetch!" for Play, Stop and Record. We could train dogs as remote comtrol then.
(Accordingly "Roll!" for moving the edit cursor, "Poop!" for render...)

Excellent (though perhaps "Woof!" instead of "Speak!" for Play?)! So do I take it that we can look forward to a new "Best in Show" skin for Reaper shortly, then?
